But to returne to their sacriledge / in which thei do take away
one parte of the sacrament. Of this thefte the institution of
the Lorde / the Epistle of Paule / the custome ãd manier of the
primatiue churche / which was to mynister this holy supper in
both kindes / dothe accuse them / which dyd continue euen vntill
the tyme of Thomas Aquinas / and vnto this daye it continueth in
all the Easte church / wherfore seing tht in this thinge also
they are so obstinate / they can be none otherwyse estemed but
as heretykes.
They haue also another most pernicious and hurtefull doctryne /
of the calling vpon the dead sainctes / and worshippe / and
adoration / to be gyuen to theyr Images.
[[Deut. 6.]]
The holy scripture sayth / Thou shalt worshipp the Lorde thy
God / and hym onlye shalte thou serue. But they denye that they
do worshippe the Images: They maye denye it in wordes / but in
theyr dedes they do testifie cleane contrarye. They fall downe
before them / they praye to them / thei crie and call on them /
they cense them / they light vp cãdels before them / what do
they more to God hym selfe? They leaue no peculiar thinge vnto
Christe / to aske of him / which they do not aske of some
saincte / They do gyue titles / and names vnto the sainctes /
especiallie to the blessed virgin Marie / which do belonge vnto
Christe alone. Thou quene (saye they) of mercie / our aduocate /
our lyfe / our sweetnes / ãd our hope. Certaynlie these thinges
do belonge to Christe onlye / vnto him therfore alone shoulde
thei leaue these thinges vntouched / and withowt diminutiõ.
I speake not this / as though I dyd not thinke / that the moste
holie virgin were worthy of singular praises / But euen she her
selfe will not be made equall with Christe. They do furthermore
crie owt of all corners at all their altars vnto their
sainctes / as thoughe they were present euerie where. But this
presence belongithe to god onlie / neither is it communicated to
any creature.
[[Acto. 4.]]
Again it is writẽ in the holye scripture: That ther is none
other name vnder heauen / but the name of Christe onlye / wherin
we muste be saued.
[[1. Ioan. 2.]]
And Iohn doth saie: If we synne / we haue an aduocate wyth the
father / Iesus Christe the rightuous / and he is the
propiciation for our synnes. But theis heretikes make many
aduocates. Esaie confessith and saieth.
[[Esa. 63.]]
Abraham hathe not knowen vs / And Israel hathe forgotten vs. And
therfore (saith he) these are not to be called vpon / we must
not truste in them / but in God onlye / and that vnto him wee
muste flye. We are commaũded also in moste plain wordes / that
what so euer we aske / we sholde aske it in the name of Iesus
Christe /
[[Ioan. 16.]]
